times exceedingly interesting, with incl
dents that were very exciting. The visiting
nine did better fielding than their opPo-
nents, and stole more bases but the
Atlas were stronger batters. Borchers.
formerly of the Atlas, made his first ap-
pearance here as pitcher for rival nine,
and showed marked improvement, not be-
ing so wild as formerly. In the first inn
ing he struck out Caveny, Powers and
Anderson in rapid succession, and was
loudly applauded. 1t was not until the
fourth inning that the Atlas "got on to
his style, and then they pounded him
good. Creegan gave him good support.
Mcdonald played first base finely, and
hit the ball every time up, and, in
fact, Shea was about the only one
of the nine who was q little off.
Mullee was unusually wild, giving eight
men bases on balls, which nearly became
disastrous for his side. He was not much
worse than Borchers in that respect how
ever. the latter having allowed six bases.
Mullee's general playing outside of the
box offset the faults of his pitching. Nc
Laughlin and Anderson each are charged
with two errors, but aside from that their
playing was excellent, Mclaughlin doing
some daring base-running, while Ander-
sons running catch with the left hand of a
hot drive from Donovan's bat in the sixth
inning was something worth watching
whole game to see. No player on the coast
has improved so rapidly in all lines as he
has. and, something appreciated by the
spectators, though always very much in
earnest, he is quiet and gentlemanlike.
Cavenv had nothing to do in the field.

reputation for energy, and only failed once
to be the right man in the right place.
Newbert and Flint came to the rescue of
their comrades just when they were wanted,
with two-base hit each, and didn't allow
a ball to escape them. Robertson made
six put-outs and had two assists. but made
an eXcusable error. Loyett was unfortu-
nate failing to properly gauge the only ball
that came his way. He helped others with
base hit, but could not achieve "score"
The game commenced with the G. & NJ s
at the bat, and they went out in one-two-
three order. In the second inning, Nc
Donald hit to center field and stole second.
Borchers was given a base on balls. Cur
nett famed" Mclaughlin, behind the
bat, dropped the ball after the third strike,
and Gurnett started to run, but stopped
after going short distance. Meanwhile,
as Gurnett's attempt to run had forced Nc
Donald and Borchers TO advance Nc
Laughlin threw the bail to third, which
put out Mcdonald, who was still on sec
ond. Anderson then threw it to second,
which put out Borehers, who had not left
first. Robertson threw to first, which Cur
nett had not taken. and the umpire de-
clared the side out by triple play. The
Greenhoods kicked, but went on with the
game after lodging a protest with the
scorer.
In the third inning the visitors made four
runs. Shea got his base on balls Dono-
van hit to left field safely. Creegan's tap
was looked after by Mullee, who assisted
him out at first. Long struck to short
stop. who threw to the plate to head off
Shea, but Mclaughlin !" fumSled," and
Shea Tailed, Donovan going to third and
running home on passed ball McCord
got base on balls. Blakiston sent the
ball to Powers, who held it. Mcdonald
made handsome drive to left field, bring
ing in Long and McCord, but was left in
the cold by Borchers striking out.
The Atlas made their first runs in the
fourth inning. Powers hit to left field,
slipped around to third, and tailed on q
wild pitch. Anderson took base on balls.
Mullee hit to Borchers, who sent the ball
to first ahead of him. Mclaughlin made
hit to left field, bringing in Anderson.
Newbert's was neatly captured by second
base. Flint hit to third safely, and Nc
Laughlin, who had advanced from first to
third audaciously, crossed the plate. Rob-
ertson was given his base on balls. Iovett
did his best work of the game by hitting
strong to right field, Flint taking advant-
age of it to reach home safely with fine
slide, but Robertson was put out at third
The result of the inning which tied the
score, aroused the spectators to enthusiasm
and the play from that time on was
watched with great interest.
In the fifth inning the G. & M en-
couraged their admirers by making two
more runs. Long raised a sky-ball to
Anderson, who got under it in season, but
the sun was full in his eyes, and he muffed.
McCord sent one to Flint and retired.
Blakiston hit the ball squarely on the nose
and it flew far out into left field. Lovett
made poor estimate of how far it was
going, and it passed beyond him and rolled
beneath a buggy, from which il was not
extricated and returned to the diamond I'M

Long tallying ahead of him. McDonald's
third strike escaped Mclaughlin. and he
| reached first, and by degrees got to third,
but it was of no use Borchers being as
sisted out at first by Mullee, and Gurnett
having hole in his bat
The Atlas commenced their share of the
fifth by Caveny's going to first on balls.
Powers reached the same station on Sheas

home on Anderson's hit to left field
Mullee hit to short, and Powers was put
out at the plate. Mclaughlin waited for
six balls, and Newbert's two Dagger to left

The friends of the Atlas shouted

side made run during the next
| three innings. In the ninth, however. the
Oaklanders went at it again, Long taking

there was a loud shout from the friends

greatly worried. The run-getting for the
visitors did not go any further, however. as
Donovan waited the side out The core
was now tie, the Atlas having an inning
to go on, and all their best batters to do
the work. Caveny led off with hit to left
| field, amid great cheering. Powers waited
successfully for six balls, and while Ander-
son was striking foul or two each of the
men on bases advanced station. Drive

son." yelled Powers and Just then Ander-
son discovered the ball he was looking for,

left field, Caveny crossed the plate, max

him closely. Following is the detailed
